THE NELSON MONUMENT. On Saturday a public meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erect. log a memorial of the achievements of the late Admiral Viscount Nelson was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, to receive the Report of the Com mittee, &c. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch in the Chair. Among the distinguished personages present we noticed the Duke of Welling. ton, the Marquis of Anglesey. the Earl of Cadogan, Viscount Ingestrie, Lord Colville, the Earl of Eldon, Lord William Bentinck, Lord Lyne doch, Lord Hotham, Sir George Murray, Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Ed ward Cust, Sir Thomas Hardy, Sir John Barrow, Sir Augustus Clifford, Sir Peter Laurie. &c. &c. The CHAIRMAN said, fortunately there was a sum of 5,5451. 19s. in the hands of the Committee of the patriotic fund, which was raised by subscription in 1805 for the purpose of erecting a monument to Lord Nelson, which had since been transferred to the trustees of the present subscription, and which was a considerable sum for them to start with. The principal object of the present meeting was to further the subscip_ tion thus commenced, to which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to contribute Ave hundred guineas, and the Queen Dowager two hun dred guineas.—(Cheers.) Mr. Scow, the Honorary Secretary, read the report of the Com. mittee. Sir E CODRINGTON then moved that the report be received. He had been of opinion that a monument to the memory of Nelson ought to have been erected at the expense of the Government, but as a public subscription had been commenced for that purpose he was convinced that it would be general among all classes other Majesty's subjects. Lord LYNEDOCH, in seconding the motion, said the only observations he had to make to the meeting were the words that animated Nelson's companions at the battle of Tratalgar—" England expects every man to do his duty."—(Cheers.) The motion was put and caaried unanimously. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that heroic actions com manded respect, not only in the country that gave birth to him by whom they were performed but of rival nations also. When mentioning the heroes of his country with that of Nelson he would also mention that of an illustrious military hero whose presence on that occasion animated all. (This allusion to his Grace the Duke of Wellington was received with such loud cheers as prevented us from hearing the conclusion of the sentence.) Of both those distinguished men it might be said that al though they belonged peculiarly to this country, yet, in a more enlarged sense, they belonged to the great family of mankind. There was one peculiarity in this country to which he would call their attention. :Here, whenever a monument was to be raised to commemorate the services of any individual, the energies of the people were usefully and actively employed in performing a duty which was elsewhere cast upon the Go vernment. He was gratified to find that the site proposed had met with the :approbation of the meeting.' He thought there could not be a more worthy consecration of Trafalgar square, and it was the most magnificent situation that the metropolis afforded. He should Wish to have a me morial erected, and contemporaneously contribute to the improvement of Use !Inc arts of the country. He could not think it would be unworthy of arti.ts to enter into the fullest and freest competition. He concluded by moving a resolution, that exertions be made to carry the recommend ations of the report into effect. Sir H. VIVIAN seconded the motion, which was put, and carried unanimously. The Duke of WELLING row then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He said that he was greatly flattered in having been appointed one of the persons to propose a resolution on that occa sion, which was to the effect that the meeting highly approved of the situation selected for the intended monument. It would be quite unnecessary for him, after the speeches that had already been delivered, urging them to make exertions in order that the monument to be then erected under their direction, or by their assistance, worthy of the object it was intended to commemorate, to detain them many minutes. They would recollect that Nelson was at. the head of a profession the mem bers of which had from time to time greatly contributed to the glory of this country. It was impossible for any man to detail, or even to conceive, the important services which that great man had rendered to his country, and there never would be a period at which his noble example would not stimulate others to follow in his footsteps. In the abstract it was certainly a matter of astonishment that the work which they had commenced had not been carried into execution at an earlier period. ' Ile was old enough to recollect the time when the rnolancholy intern. ' Bence of the death of that great man arrived in this country. It was impossible to describe the effect produced on the public mind by a sense of his invaluable services, and the irreparable loss which the country had gusts ined. Soon after that period there was a wish entertained to erect a monument to his memory, and he believed the design would have been (tarried into execution, but for the general expectation that it would have been done at the expense of the Govern ment. At a 1 :ter period, Parliament, no doubt, intended that something should be done, to commemorate the services of the Army and the Navy, on which commemoration it was impossible but th4t the services of Nelson would have obtained a most conspicuous place; but at the termination of the late war it turned cut that t he expenses of that war had been so enormous that considera tions of public economy, and the difficulties of the moment rendered it irol , ossib'e to carry that scheme into execution. Now, however, that affeir had e,ne to be settled, he trusted that the object of the Committee would be carried into effect in a manner worthy of the country and of the hero whose brilliant achievements it was intended to commemorate . Her Most Gracious Majesty hog set them a noble example.—(Loud cheers.) The Government had done everything that could be expected from the Government to enable them to carry their scheme into execu tion, and he hoped that their object would be effected at the earliest pos. Bible moment. His Grace sat down amidst loud and long.continucd cheering. Load MPLYILT.E seconded the motion. the resolution was then put and carried. Thy Marquis of A NGLL SEY said that the state of his health prevented him from addressing the meeting at any length. He would not trouble them farther than by proposing the next resolution. The remaining resolutions having been carried, Mr. Corr read the list of subscriptions received, among which were— The Duke of Wellington 2001., the Duke of Buccleuch 2001., the Mar quis of Anglesey 1001., the lZarl of Yarborough 1001., the Earl of Cam perdown 201., Sir Thoma. Hardy 20/ , the Chancellor of the Exchequer 251, Sir Thomas Acland 10/., Captain Kelly Si., &c. &c. Six GeoFte:E Cocanunx then moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for the ability and urbanity with which he had presided over the meeting. Lord LY E DOC 11 seconded' the motion, which was then put by the Duke cf Wellington, and carried acrid loud cheers. The C,A IRM &N acknowledged the compliment. The meeting then adjourned. The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered as he lett the room. THE LATE EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE VICTORIA, HULL STEAMER. 11IGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-NIORROW. Morning 49 minutes after 11 I Evening 0 minutes after 0 The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA Y, JUNE 18, 1838. The Pharc of Bayonne mentions a revolt among the Carlist troops at Urdach on the Bth instant. Two companies, headed by two sergeant_ majors, demanded their pay, and the sedition was only put down by the arrival of a battalion of Navarre, when the companies were disarmed. According to another account three companies had wished to join Mona got.' " The Carlist expedition under Carmona," we quote a letter from Pampalona of the 7th inst., "of which the remainder has returned into Navarre, has lost more than 1,0()0 men. Yesterday our troops, corn. manded by Esparterro in person, occupied Zubiri, Inigo, and the whole line from Valcarlos ; they will march to-day on Larainzar. It appears to be the intention cf Esparterro, who has placed two brigades under Alaix, at Puente la Reyna, to attack the valley of •Ulzama. This movement will intercept all communication between Estella and To. losa. Leon el Conde will resume his former positions at Lcrin, and Iriarte will station himself at Lodosa." The Vantour steam-boat, commanded by Lieutenant raffle Duparc, has just received orders to quit Toulon. This steam-boat is to convey to Africa Monloud-Ben Aruch, the Envoy of Abd-el-Kader, who was expected at Toulon on the 19. th. It is said that this Envoy tal;es with him munificent presents for the Emir, his Sovereign, and for himself. We are informed that there will be no camp at Compeigne this year. The Prince Royal intends to make a tour in the Autumn on the Northern and Eastern frontiers. A Frankfort Paper has a letter from Posen of the sth May, which says that preliminary proceedings against the Archbishop, Al. Dunin, commenced on that day, whon 51. Frankenburg, Chief President of the Courts of Justice of the Provincial, repaired to the Archiepiscopal palace for that purpose. The Archbishop has again applied to his Majesty, to petition him to erase the rules of the canon law, to be ob served in the proceedings against him.—Le Commerce.

Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 9th instant, in clusive, Lave come to hand. this morning. We copy from gregated outside, and broke the windows, but did no fur- ' ther mischief. The Mayor, however, took no notice of the outrage; many applauded the conduct of the rioters ; and the consequence was, that on the following night they again assembled, and in the presence of thousands of passive spectators burst open the doors, and set the whole building on fire. The Mayor then made his appearance, but having taken no measures to have his authority respected, he, of course, could do nothing—and in a few hours the entire edifice was one heap of ruins. The next clay passed off as quietly on the part of the authorities as the day preced ing ; whereupon the incendiaries, seeing that they might act with perfect impunity, assembled again the third night, and burned the Orpham Asylum and School for negro children ; broke the windows of a house be longing to an abolitionist ; fired a shot at the sheriff happily without effect ; smashed the windows of the Black Church ; and were it not for the intrepid conduct of Mr. Rust', the City Recorder, and the firemen, who formed themselves into a band to appose the rioters, there is every reason to believe that they would not have desisted before burning the house of every abolitionist in Philadelphia. The most disgraceful features of this most disgraceful affair are the culpable negligence of the chief magi strate, the apathy of the great body of the citizens, and the protraction for three successive nights, of such scenes as we have just described. Had the whole of the outrages been committed in the course of one night by an infuriated mob, no blame could be cast on the bulk of the citizens ; but the time that elapsed in the course of their deliberate perpetration, will long reflect a stigma upon the City of Philadelphia. It was brutal, in the last degree, to witness unmoved the smashing of the windows of an edifice filled ex clusively w;th ladies ; and, to say the least of it, there was but a poor manifestation of even personal courage exhibited in flinging brands into churches, asylums, and the quiet domi ciles of inoffensive and unresisting Members of the Society of Friends. In Philadelphia mobs appear to be dangerous only to the defenceless ; for the instant Mr. RUSH and the firemen appeared, and threatened, at the peril of their lives, to maintain the inviolability of the law, the rioters took to their heels, although in the very act of firing a Church These outrages, instead of retarding, will greatly accele rate the abolition of slavery in America. They mark the character and the moral feeling of the anti-abolitionists• The brand, the rope, and - the bowie knife, are their great arguments for continuing two millions of their fellow creatures in a state of perpetual bondage. The civilized world has risen at the invocation of justice, humanity, and religion to refute them. The Hastings, with the Earl of DURHAM on board, had entered the St. Lawrence, but her passage was impeded by the ice. The Brig of war which accompanied the llatt ings, proceeded to Halifax. On the 20th ult., the Prince de JOINVILLE, third son of the King of the FRENCH landed at Norfolk. His Royal Highness proceeded the day following on his route to Washington. The state of the Money Market at New York on the 26th of May, and for the whole of the preceding week, was very favourable. We copy from the New York _Daily Express of the 26th an interesting: article upon this now all-engrossing subject : NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, MAY 26. Our Banks are getting more confidence, and begin to discount a little more freely. There is little or no demand for specie, and the cir culation is expanding. The great embarra , sments that are felt are from the impossibility to know when the Philadelphia Banks will resume specie payments. If this question was definitely settled, it would inspire much confidence. UNCURRENT MONEY.—There is no material change in any descrip tion. United States is better than it was ;it is nosy selling at to If per cent. The New England notes, except Rhode Island, sell very readily. Those of the Connecticut Banks stand better than any other. SPECIE.—The import since our last has been very small, and it is to he hoped more will follow that already here. There is no question that the amount of specie here is abundant for alt purposes of resump. tion. In this city the amount cannot be much less than 10,000,000 dollars, and In Philadelphia quite as much. Thus 20,000,000 of dollars are heaped up in these two cities which is of very little use to either. EXCIIANUE—FOREION.—By the last packet there seas more demand for bills, and the rates on London stood at per cent. advance; sales at 1071 per cent. The amount of bills from the South is small—the rate of discount is so great that they are mostly taken there by the United States Bank and others. From Canada, strange to say, we get no bills; it was supposed that ere this very large amounts would be sent here tunegotiate. EXCHANGE. — DOMESTIC.—Last week and the beginning of this, bills on the South improved very considerably. Since then, however, they have declined again. Bills on Mobile, for instance, sold at 10 per cent. discount, and since then at 15. There is much more confidence in Southern Drafts than there was two months ago, and the amount in markets is much reduced from what it was. Tennessee will probably soon stand well; the new Bank in that State has large funds here is draw upon. STOCKS.—This week has been one of extraordinary excitement, and the transactions have been immense, reminding us of the excitement and bustle that was common two years ago. The fluctuations are re corded as fo!hw:— Saturday, p.m.—The week has closed with great firmness; indeed we may say with a large advance. For the last three days stocks have been going up, up, up. To-day they have touched the highest point yet. All fancy as well as regular stocks have improved, and the sales unusually large. United States rose 1 per cent., Delaware as much, Harlem 3, and every stock on the list more or less. Monday, t.m.—The week Eas opened with great spirit, and a rapid rise. We noticed the closing of last week with a steady advance, but none expected that the prices would be continued The operations, however, have been immense. United States touched 12S, with a desire to purchase. This is up to old prices previous to the repeal of its charter. Delaware rose 2 per cent., and most active sales. All local banks up. Mohawk up 5 per cent. since Saturday. Harlem 5 per cent. higher, and Stonnington 2 per cent., and nearly every stock on the list proportionably advanced Th e whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Satur day have been received, but their contents are of little in terest. On Saturday the Chamber of Deputies adopted the Paris, Havre, and Dieppe Railway Bill. On Thurs day the Chamber passed- the Annual Alien Residence Re gulation Bill, first adopted in 1832 as a precaution against the excessive influx of Polish refugees. In the Chamber of Peers the. 13i11 for the regulation of the staff of the Army was proceeding in a way far from satis factory to the KING. Their Lordships fixed the number of Marshals in time of peace at eight —a regulation which LOUIS PIIIPIPPE is said to be strongly opposed to, as it checks the free exercise of the Royal prerogative. The following are extracts from the journals : the Gazelle of that date the official announcement of the victory gained by Colonel ZURBANO over the Carlist chid, BALMASEDA, referred to in The Sun of Saturday : " The Commandant-General of Burgos writes on the sth, referring to a letter from the military commander of Lerma, that on the 3d the Carlist chief Balmaseda was attacked and beaten by the column of Colonel Zurbano in the vicinity of Quintanar. The Christino chief took two of the enemy's companies prisoners, and liberated all the pri soners sf Ontoria,—viz., 1 Colonel, 3 Captains, 7 Lieutenants, II Sub.. Lieutenants, and 436 privates. He adds, that on the 4th the rebels were surrounded by the forces of Zurbano, Brigadier Espeleta, and the Commandant-Oeneral of the Slerra." On the 2d, the Carlist Chief, FORCADILL, attacked Chiva a second time, and was again repulsed, with the loss of 100 killed and wounded. On the samo day General ORAA was at Teruel, at the head of 4,000 infantry and 500 cavalry, awaiting a reinforcement of 6,000 more troops. On the Bth, two articles of the Tithe Bill had been adopted by the Cortes. By the second, one-third of the proceeds of that impost is vested in the Government as a war contri bution. Nothing more had been done with regard to the loan contract. INQUEST ON THC SUFFERERS. Saturdaymorning having been appointed for holding the inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers whose deaths were occasioned by the abave calamitous explosion, the large room of t he:Waterman 'e•A rms Ta vel n, Shadwcll Dock-stairs, Lower Shaheen, was crowded by gen tlemen connected with the vat ious steam-boat companies. The names of the unfortunate men are Andrew Brown, Jamet Young, Wm. n_ lay, John M`Donnell, and George Clay, otherwise Hutchcroft. A Juror said a gentleman was in the room who was a passenger on board the Victoria at the time of the accident, and who wished to be examined. The CoaoNcw said it would perhaps be better to take his evidence at once. He was accordingly calleil forward, when he stated his name was William Charles Ellis, and said he had written down all that had fallen under his own observation relative to the collision and the subse. quent explosion, which he begged to be allowed to read. He then handed in the document, which was read by Mr. Clarkson, and was to the following effect : " The Victoria left Hull on Wednesday, at hialf_past five o'clock, and proceeded into the Thames without any accident having occurred. She arrived near to the Shadwell entrance of the London Docks, and having just rounded the point in the firer it appeared evident that she eoul" .ot escase coming into contact with the outside of a tier of col liers. The order from the paddle_box was immediately given to stop the vessel, which was done; a pilot called out to a man in the river, abreast of the boat, to get out of the way, is hich he did. Just after. wards the bowsprit of that vessel came in contact with the strainer, which drove the paddle-box in with a tremendous crash. All was now scene of the utmost confusion. I was standing at the head of the st •amer, and saw the collision take place. I crossed to the other side of the steamer, and looking upwards the masts of the brig rip j eared tottering, and ready to fall across the bows of the steamer ; an I apprehending such to be the case, and not knowing what in jury the brig had sustained, I retreated towards the afterpart of the vessel, and when abreast of the engine -room a dense volume of smoke proceeded forth, and in an instant I was enveloped in darkness. I groped my way towards the stern, expecting every moment to be blown up, and upon looking back, saw an immense body of steam bursting forth The passengers were filled with horror at their critical and alarming situation. After a few minutes had elapsed, and seeing so rauch steam esc spine, I considered the boilers had burst, and consequently no damage could be now apprehended from an explosion. I passed my way through the steam to the fore part of the vessel to ascertain the danger of our situation, and just at that moment one of the engine -men was brought up a rent awful spectacle. A second one was then laid upon the deck, and after uttering two or three dreadful groans expired. A third and then a fourth was brought upend laid on the deck. At that time the captain was calling on persons to come down to the engine -room to assist in bringing up the remainder of the sufferers. I had heard it mentioned by the engineers that they were unable to get up the full power of steam dur hig the whole day, in consequence of an alteration in the furnaces, which had prevented the fires from burning. The captain appeared to he a very careful man, and frequently went below and examined the engines. An opposition packet was close astern of the Victoria, but no disposition was evinced by the captain to endanger the lives of the passengers by causing additional pressure of steam, in order to enable him to keep the lead ; on the contrary, it was asserted that it was a matter of small importance if the vessel did get before the Victoria. One circumstance it may be necessary to mention, and which adds a great degree of horror to the alarming catastrophe, is the fact of many of the firemen quarrelling and swearing in the most awful manner nearly ail day." By the CORONER—When off the coast of Suffolk the Victoria was ten miles ahead of the other. I cannot tell what made the captain go be low. I think the accident was quite unintentional and unavoidable. Richard Hopper, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, shipbuilder, examined— was a passenger on board the Victoria, from Hull to London. I saw the collision with the brig, and think the captain had no power to pre vent it. We did not go during the whole voyage very quickly. We did not average seventeen strokes per minute. The jury, accompanied by the Coroner, then proceeded in a steam tug to view the vessel. Mr. Young, one of the jurymen, who is an en gineer and marine boiler maker, having divested himself of his upper garments and put on a smock-frock and trousers, got into the furnace to examine the fracture in the boiler. He found - a rent at the extreme end of it, near to the flue, of twelve inches in length, the iron being torn away near to the rivets. The lower part of the boiler was forced outwards and the upper part inwards, from which it appeared that a vacuum had been formed in the boiler, and that the pressure of the atmosphere had consequently forced in the iron. The attention of the Jury was now directed to the feed-pipes, which supply the engines with water. From the present state of the bends, it would ap pear that the supply was nearly or quite cut off, and this was also assigned as a probable cause of the accident. Captain Bell's opinion was, that the men, having been disappointed in their expectation of getting, up the usual supply of steam, had determined to do it somehow, and had cut off the supply of water to the boilers, and had thus caused instant de struction. The Coroner said that that was highly probable from the state of the supply-pipes ; but he could not but observe that several other parts of the boilers had bent and torn in such a way, as to appear very dangerous. Captain Bell, in reply to this, said, " The rest were going, and there is no doubt they were red hot when the other burst." The Jury were then discharged on their own recognizances, in the sum of 401., to prosecute the further inquiry on Tuesday week, when they are to meet again. His Excellency Sy lvain Van de Weyer left town on Friday morning for Brussels, whence he will return on the 25th inst. NEFCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.--W e have just received (Friday afternoon) a communication from the London Road Railway Station, that a party of the Directors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, have traversed the whole of the line with locomo tive power, and arrived at the London Read Station, after travelling from Greenhead in 45 minutes. Monday next is fixed for the opening of the whole of this important line of railway between the Eastern and Western seas. Portions at each end of the line have been in full and successful operation for some time. The middle portion, connecting the two ends, is now completed, and will be opened on Monday first with great cere mony. The distance, it is expected, will be completed in about three hours.—Carlisle Journal. LONDON: MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1838. The Times of this morning is extremely anxious that the affairs of Ireland should be looked at as a whole. That is what we wish ; but our Contemporary, after breathing forth this desire, apparently only to pass sentence of con demnation on its own remarks, immediately turns to con sider merely the influence of DANIEL O'CONNELL, and the use he makes of it. The important question why DANIEL O'CONNELL is able to get up agitation when he pleases— why EMMET, and TONE, and HoLT could organize a re- bellion and collect armies—why GRATTAN and CHAItLE MONT in their day were as powerful nearly as O'CONNELL —and why Ireland has never been without its Captain ROCKS and its DANIEL O'CONNELLS, since Ireland was connected with England, is entirely and wilfully cast aside. That would be looking at Irish affairs and at Ireland as a whole ; and that neither the Tines nor any of the Tories ever dream of doing, because it condemns their arrogant and insulting conduct. It is supremely ridiculous in Statesmen and public writers to look only at O'CONNELL'S influence, and never inquire into its cause. His eloquence must be superhuman if he can sway unwilling hearts ; but the fact is, that his countrymen, always outraged, always insulted, and always trampled on, under one miserable pretext or another— for when did a tyrant fail to find a pretext for his tyranny ? —are always ripe for rebellion and ready to follow any leader who promises them redress or vengeance. IVe should like to see the man, however gifted, who was able to stir up the Bench of Bishops to rebellion, or capable of convincing them that they were a much mis-used and long suffering race, patient in tribulation, to whom it was a dis- grace and a dishonour to acquiesce in the insults and in juries heaped on them by the law. To move them from their well-assured ease, and well established power, a far mightier than O'CoNNELL might try in vain. It is not his eloquence then, but the injuries and insults which Protestant England has heaped and continues to heap on his countrymen, which is the source of his power. The soul of Irish agitation is English tyranny. Looked at as a whole, Ireland offers the spectacle of a nation continually misused by another, first from rapacity, or mere blind prejudice and anger, such as are common to all men in a half savage condition, and then on the wretched pretext that to misuse it was necessary for the social welfare of the whole. She offers us the spectacle of continually triumphing by one quiet civil victory after another over her oppressor, who still persists, in spite of experience and in spite of a succession of deep and morti fying. defeats, in fastening on her every badge and sign and fetter of his own unholy wrongs. The great and chief link still remaining is the Protestant—oh, how unworthy of the name !—Established Church ; and they whom the Catholics defeated in 1829, persist in 1838 i❑ denying them municipal franchises, in order to rivet, if possible, a few years longer this insult on the Irish. Their conduct looked on as mere worldly prudence or policy, after so much experience of its mischief, is unspeakably contemptible ; looked at as a question of morality it is in describably wicked. To take worldly wealth from the Catholics, and give it to the professors of their own reli gion, they keep in the ground the roots of sedition and rebellion, which through all the last century have con tinually produced a frightful crop of bloodshed, murder, and all imaginable horrors. But turning from this view as a whole, the Times and the Tories fix on Mr. O'CoN NELL'S inflnence as a -trange and inexplicable phenomenon, and with as much folly as those who in former times believed that comets shook.— - From their horrid hair Pestilence and war. They ascribe all the e%ils of Ireland to DANIEL O'CON. NELL being yet above the horizon. The foolishness of Tory reasoning is kept in countenance by the wickedness of Tory policy. No sooner do the Irish meet in numbers to expresstheirdicsr.tisfaction with the To ries, than the latter are instantly filled with a dread of re bellion. By the observations which they made in the House of Lords, on Friday, the Irish may know what they must expect from the return of the Tories to office. Every meeting would be prohibited—every assemblage would, on some pretence or other, be declared illegal—and every expression of public opinion, because it would, and must be hostile to the Established Church, to tithes, and to the Tories, would be suppressed. Ireland would be goaded by them, in three months, into rebellion, and the working heart of England, we can tell them, would not help them to suppress it. If they can continue their unrighteous policy by the help of a few hundred gentlemen, and a few thousand parsons, they will perhaps he justified ; but the masses in England, as well as in Ireland, are against them, and before they can succeed they must conquer both. A public meeting of the subscribers to the fund for erecting a memorial of the naval achievements of Lord NELSON, was held on Saturday, at the Freerilason's Ta vern. The Duke of WELLINGTON was present at this meeting, and made a speech remarkable for its grace and propriety, in the course of which he alluded to the victories of Lord NELSON—especially that crowning one at Trafalgar —in the same animated style in which some future historian will speak of Warerloo. It is highly gratifying to see one great warrior thus coming forward to bear tes timony to the merits of another ; and speaking i❑ the most generous, and indeed unqualified, terms of the incomparable services rendered by NELSON at Trafalgar, just as if services of equal—we might almost say superior—value had not been rendered by himself on the field of Waterloo. We are, it is well known, no very great admirers of his Grace as a statesman, but on an occasion like the present, we dismiss all ideas of politics—and this the more readily, when we bear in mind that twenty-three years ago, at the very hour we are penning these lines, the Duke of WELLINGTON was hotly engaged in one of the most murderous, but glorious and decisive ' conflicts, that modern times have known. Long may his Grace live to commemorate the anniversary of this remarka ble day ; and when, full of years and honours, he departs from among us, may the same msnly and generous eulogium be publicly pronounced on him, that he has himself pro nounced upon NELSON ! No worthier tribute of respect can possibly be paid - him—no fitter epitaph be inscribed on his tomb. A Bill was brought into the House of Commons last week, the object of which is to provide for the conveyance of the mails by railways. This is a measure, ❑ot only of great importance, but of absolute necessity. The public interest demands that the commercial correspondence of the country should be transmitted by as rapid a mode of convey ance as it is possible to obtain. It also requires that the whole of the arrangements connected with the transmission of letters through the post-office should be under the com plete controul of Government. Without such controul it would evidently be impossible to secure that regularity of communication which is fully as essential as rapidity to the prosperity of a mercantile and manufacturing community. It it by combining these two qualities with a third,namely, cheap ness, that the Inarimum of benefit is to be derived from a Post-office establishment. The Bill will, in our opinion, effectually provide for the first two requisites ; the third we hope soon to see secured by the adoption of Mr. Row- LAND HILL'S plan for reducing all postages to a penny per letter. The Government has been somewhat severely found fault with for introducing this measure, on the ground that it is an unwarrantable interference with private property. We are not a little surprised at such a doctrine as this. It surely is not meant to be contended that the Legislature has given to railway Companies, powers and privileges to be used against the public interest, when it is well known that the strongest argument which all the projectors of these undertakings have urged, in order to procure the assent of Parliament to their schemes—.the main inducement which they have held out to the guardians of the public interests to empower them to interfere with private property—is the benefit of the public. It is the merest extravagance to imagine that the Legislature conferred such enormous power on these Companies, actually suspending the opera tion of the laws of property in their favour, only for the purpose of putting money in the pockets of the few indivi duals composing them. On the contrary, it must be obvious to every unbiassed mind, that, not only has Parliament the right to render the railways subser vient to the great national interests involved in the transmission of letters, but that it is bound by the strictest obligations of duty so to do. Nor is its sphere of duty limited to this single department. Whenever and wher ever Railway Companies abuse their privileges and im pede the public convenience, by unnecessary restraints on travelling, then and there it is the bounden duty of the Le gislature to interpose, and regulate the power which it originally gave, so as most effectually to attain the great object which alone it had in view—public utility. We shall suppose that the fanatical party in the London and Birmingham Railway Company had succeeded in putting a stop to Sunday travelling. Would the Parliament have endured such a gross abuse of the power vested in the Company as this would have been ? Certainly not—for, let it never be forgotten that one effect of the railway system is to extinguish all other methods of travelling, and consequently to place the public completely at the mercy of the Railway Companies. And the same party, or whatever other party may act on the same principles, may rest assured that should such a restriction as that alluded to ever be attempted to be carried into effect, they would be made to feel the heavy hand of the British Legislature. We cannot be accused of any hostility to railways. Our best exertions have all along been used in their behalf; and we claim the merit of having commenced those exertions for years before any other Newspaper thought it worth while to take up the subject. But as our impelling motive was the beneficial conse quences which we foresaw would result to the public from the new mode of communication, so we shall never shrink from pointing out whatever we may see defective in the management of railways, or illiberal in the conduct of those to whom their direction is entrusted. The following, is a very carious petition from two thou sand apprentices, which was presented to the House of Commons, by Mr. O'CONNELL, on Thursday even ing. It expresses very clearly the additional hardships the apprentices are now made to undergo, and it is, we arc informed, the composition of the apprentices themselves, the Missionary who forwarded it: having only corrected some of the orthography. The petitioners are more worthy of freedom than their masters. The Humble Petition of the Apprentices of the Parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica, to the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain. Humbly Fho weth That your petitioners, the undersigned apprentices of the Parish of St. Catherine aforesaid, humbly approach your Honourable House, to lay before your Honourable House the great grievances your Petitioners lay under. When your Petitioners first heard of the great Loon of apprentice ship which Great Britain was pleased to promise to the labouring pepu. lation on the Ist of August, 1834—that of giving your Petitioners emancipation, and bringing them out of that state of cruel bondage in which they were, and put them under better laws—your Petitioners and all their Brethren were truly thanktul, and never done to praise a gra. eious God and your Honourable House. But your Petitioners now more especially beg your Honourable House to look into the system, for that your Petitioners have been much abused under it. Many of your Petitioners have been cruelly flogged, and made to dance the treadmill, and punish in the dark hole, who were never ill-treated in time of slavery. Your Petitioners have also been much robbed of their time and allowance: they used to have before, so that they find it very hard to support themselves and their children ; and when they are sick, many are locked up in the Tr3thouse, and nobody care to give them nourish ment. Your Petitioners declare to your HOnourable House that their bondage is very hard—that such is the ill treatment they have to endure, that if it were not for religion, they know not how they should have had patience to bear up against it so long—and yet your Petitioners hear that they are not so bad oil as their poor Brothers and Sisters in other Parishes, where the Special Magistrates are too cruel, and many of them have no friends to see them righted. Thus your Petitioners have humbly endearoured to lay their bitter complaint before your Honour able House * , but they want words—they want language to explain all the hardships and sufferings they groan under : and as the house ser vants will be set at liberty in August this present year, and your Peti tioners the field apprentices will still be kept under the lash and severity of the owners, and toiling without any comfort, and scarce the nece. , - series of life, your Petitioner, most humbly and earnestly pray, that through the great kindness of your Honourable Hou . se they may be released from the two years which the fitld-people will have to serve, so that they may all have their freedom and rejoice together, and which your Petitioners further pray your Honourable House will not think presumptuous. Many of the white people hare raised the repent that the labouring people will not work, or obey the laws, when once they are set free ; but your Petitiouers humbly beg your Honourable House to put no confidence in their words;. your Petitioners have no other desire than to labour for their bread—to live in peace with all men--and to fear God and honour the Queen, according to the commandments of our God and Saviour, which is preached unto us. So prays your humble Petitioners, and most earnestly hope they may not be disappointed, as they have no other to c,.11 upon, neither to put their trust in, for this great favour, but God and your Honourable House. And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. Here follow the signature,, upwards of 12,00 in number. In another part of our paper will be found the Reverend Dr. PooßE's account of the Canterbury tragedy. We ar e struck with the meagreness of the information on which the Reverend Gentleman issued his warrants. No complaint :s set forth by any person insulted or injured ; no deposition :s made that there was a single act of violence committed. A match, not lighted, was found in a bean stack, and a man who had followed Tnoat to see what was going on, saw an elderly woman kiss him, and heard some words which he did not understand. The Reverend Magistrate him self says, that Tnoat in returning. to Boughton committed no act of violence, and harangued no mob. From the moment of his addressing the people on Sunday, to.the amount of two hundred, according to Mr. Fanatets's statement, till Thursday, l:e appears to have been seen by no Magistrate, and no Magistrate had personal cog nizance of his proceedings, or took any notice of them till Wednesday. Colonel GROVE, of Boughton, told the Rev. Dr. POORE a long story of THOM using language of the most exciting description, but he only spoke from hearsay, and declined making an affidavit of the particulars. Dr. POORE tells Lord J. RUSSELL that he lives 14 or 1.5 from the scene of the affray, and from the scene of THOM'S exploits, and he, therefore, is not to be blamed for his igno rance ; but the public will asl: if there were no Magistrates in the neighbourhood—if there were no resident:Squires nearer than Dr. PoonE ; and will particularly require to be in formed why the Reverend Gentleman, living so far from the spot, could alone be found to issue a warrant, or inter fere judicially on the occasion. The public will ask also why warrants were issued which were not to he executed. It was to expostulate with THOM, not to apprehend him, though hehad the warrants in his pocket, that the constable went to THOM. It was considered unadviseable to attempt to ap prehend THOM without an adequate civil force ; but still somehow or other, without any such civil force being assembled, the constable with the warrants went to THO3I. All these are matters which reflect, in our judgment, no honour on the Magistracy of Kent, and we can only pray that the people generally may be delivered from the toils of the Magistracy if they, through out the country, resemble the Magistrates of Kent. We quite agree with the Reverend Dr. POORE, that great care should be (have been) used to prevent any fatal result ; but we venture to assert, that the absence of all Magistrates from the actual scene of the disturbances till Thursday—their want of personal cognizance of the pro ceedings—the absence of all efforts on their part between Sunday and Thursday, to separate the deluded men from THOM, and the sending constables with warrants which were not to be executed, supply no proofs that great care, or that any care, whatever, was taken. The public will form their own judgment of this lamentable affair, and the Magistrates and the Clergy will not come out of it with honour. By the packet s hip S'zefjicld, which arrived y esterday at Liverpool, w e h ave re ceived Now York papers t o t h e 27th ult. inclusi ve . They bring a melancholy and di sgrace f u l account of various outrages committed by the anti-slavery abolitionists of the city of Philade!phia on the nights of the 16th, 17th, and 18th of May--outrages which, to the shame of the Mayor and other authorities, might easily have been prevented, had proper precautions been taken even after their prebahl - : occurrence, in the course of a few days, were foreseen by every citizen of Philadelphia. It appears from the journals and private letters that the slavery abolitionists had erected, at an expense of forty thousand dollars, a magnificent ball for the purpose of holding meetings on the subjects of slavery, and the education of the coloured race throughout the union. This noble edifice was first opened on the 14th, and solemnly dedicated to all purp oses connected with the physical, moral, and intellectual improvement of the slave-population. On the 16th a female anti-slavery meeting was held there, when an anti-abolition mob con- HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY. Their Lordships sat in a Committee of Privileges to-day. THE HUNTLEY PEERAGE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL upon this case being called on stated, that on behalf of the Crown that with the exception of one point, namely, whether Lord Lewis Gorden had died without issue, he considered that the Earl of Aboyne had made out his claim to the Marquisate of Huntley. With respect, however, to Lord Lewis Gordon, be considered it to be his duty to call for further evidence as to the fact of his dying without issue or not. Sir W. FOLLETT, for the purpose of supplying that fact, called the Earl of Aberdeen, who stated that he never heard that Lord Lewis Gor. don had any issue. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the evidence of the Noble Earl was sufficient, and he therefore submitted to their Lordships resolving that the Earl of Aboyne had made out his claim to the Marquisate of Huntley. The further consideration of the cairn was adjourned to Thursday. CAVAN PEERAGE. Their Lortnsuips, after hearing Counsel and evidence, resolved that the Earl of Cavan had made out his claim to vote at the election of the Representative Peers for Ireland. LORD DUNGANNON'S CLAIM TO VOTE. The Committee resolved that Lord Dungannon had made out his claim to vote at the election of representative Peers for Ireland. . ARRAN PEERAGE. Their LORDSHIPS, after hearing evidence, resolved that the Earl of Arran had made out his claim to vote at the election of representative Peers for Ireland. THE CAMOYS PEERAGE. The further consideration of the claims to this Peerage, which has been in abeyance since the reign of Edward the Fourth, were resumed. Upon the last occasion the whole of the evidence on behalf of Mr. Sto nor, one of the claimants, was completed ; and this morning their Lord ships proceeded to consider the claims of Mr. Strange Stylernan and Sir Jacob Astley. The case was proceeding when we left. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) LENT V. BURGESS, A WARD. In this case, in which our readers will recollect a young gentleman of the name cf inkwortis, the son of the Comptroller of the Customs at Ramsgate, has twice eloped with Miss Kent, a ward of the Court, Mr. Winkworth, the father, was ordered to attend the Court, and also to snake an affidavit in answer to several that had been filed on behalf of the young lady's guardians. ➢lr. Winkworth, the father, attended in Court to-day, and also filed an affidavit, in which he denied any know ledge or participation whatever in the elopement of his son with Miss Kent. Mr. Banana and Mr. V. Ricirmlns, on behalf of the guardians, sub mitted that it was apparent, from the affidavit, that Mr. Winkworth, the father, was privy to the second elopement of his son with Miss Kent, and therefore that he had rendered himself liable to the punishment of the Court for contempt. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, with whom was Mr. WEST, wished to know tvhethcr his Learned Friends, on behalf of . the guardians, seriously asked for the committal of Mr. Winkworth, sen., upon the trash which was contained in the affidavit made on their behalf. Mr. BA ;Bea would leave it to the Court to adopt what course it though proper. Mr.KNIGaT BRUCE thought such a courseextremely unusual ; nothing specific ought to be asked. Mr. RICIIARDS said the Court ought either to commit him for the part he had taken, or if not, that he should be compelled to answer the other affidavits that had been filed. The VICE.CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Knight Bruce, said that it did not appear to him that the affidavits furnished anything like xi sufficient case to call upon the Court to commit Mr. Charles Winkworth, the father. His Honour would therefore discharge Mr. Winkworth from any further attendance upon the Court, as no well-founded charge had betas brought against him. It wa., however, due to the geardians of the young lady to say, that they had acted most rightly, and only done their duty, in endeavouring to probe the matter to the utmost. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The Court, however, would be ready to afford the Jury all the assistance in its power should any difficulty unexpectedly occur. Common Juries were then impannelled, and the Court proceded to the trial of prisoners. Previously to this, a Juryman prayed the Court to be excused from attendance to-morrow, because (his profession being that of a school master) his school would then break up, and he wished to be at home on that occasion, to superintend the departure of his scholars.

By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth, on Saturday morning, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 12th instant. The rumour of a new commercial treaty between Great Bri tain and Portugal being on the eve of adoption, is said to be totally groundless. The Portuguese prefer the ruin of their trade, to the pro bability of adding to the commercial greatness of England.
